Something is hunting the local occupants near Tucson, Arizona, and Dr. Angie Rippard is determined to find out what…and protect whatever it is at all costs. As an expert on mountain lions, also known as cougars and pumas, Rippard is dedicated to preserving these beautiful animals. But as the attacks continue and more and more people die, she struggles with her philosophy that the cat should be captured and relocated, and not exterminated, more and more difficult to maintain.

(Okay I'm copying and pasting the review from blog - hopefully it's not too long)
Before I review Claws by Stacey Cochran I feel that in the name of complete disclosure I should state that I got this book for free. And how I got the book for free is a tale.
A few years back I came across Stacey's first novel Amber Page and the Legend of the Coral Stone and was initially leery of buying it because the title was a tad Harry Potterish. But there was a sample chapter available, More...

The concept of Claws is interesting and the author shows a lot of promise as the story hooks the reader in the beginning. For me, however, the story began to fall apart from lack of character development. Granted, characters are placed in an extremely stressful situation but that situation is implausible and the actions of the characters incomprehensible. It's not enough to throw in a sentence about the behavior of characters that have been inadequately developed in the first place. More charact

One-fourth of a star for concept. Not a bad concept but very poor characterization and much of it awkwardly written, really painful in places. Reads like a first draft. Characters too stupid to be believed. DNF, although I did read about 3/4 of it.
Then, early in 2011, the author or someone using the author's name* was promoting this book on the Amazon Kindle boards by cashing in on a national news story about a woman recently killed by a wild cat. Pointing to the story as if to say, More...

First of all, this is not the kind of book I usually read. It was free on amazon, and I like free.
I feel like the main character was not developed at all! The characters that were developed happened moments before their death or the end of their part in the story. I like the main character's boyfriend, johns break down but wish there had been more to his character before this! Each character had glimpse of a deep character but fell short.
Ending kind of confused me.

Okay plot - I have to agree with other reviewers
that the characters were rather shallow. The
story seemed to move too quickly - almost at the
pace of a short story.

free on kindle at the time I read it. I don't care for this genre though.

Claws will grip you and not let go! This scary, plausible tale could be a harbinger of events to come if more and more natural lands are developed pushing wild animals to commit desperate measures of survival. This is the author’s message cleverly wrapped in a story about two hungry mountain lions hunting people for their next meal – something a mountain lion would not normally do in most circumstances. The fear and horror evoked in Claws makes one seriously think about man’s encroachment on nat
